Good morning,
I have what may be a silly question. Provider documentation states an amputation of all five toes/mid foot on the right side. This would code as Z89.431 only, correct? There isn't an excludes note for the codes for the toes, Z89.411, Z89.421 but being part of the foot, I imagine they would not be coded individually? Like I said, maybe a silly question but asking anyway.
